JULY 25.197» praisals ranged above or below that figure. Two enthusiasts asked permission to practice hang gliding from a 100 foot high kameln the Glacial park off of Harts road. Martie Bunner, Zion, a hang glider instructor, and John Heine, the first man to launch himself from the high kame, said the site would be good for beginner glider pilots, and, if the wind reached 20 mph, experienced pilots would also be interested in soaring or riding the air currents. Concern for ecological damage and the problem of liability was expressed by both the applicants and the trustees. Bunner advised of his ex­ perience in gliding at other sites in Michigan, Indiana and Wisconsin and how the various parks handled fees, permits and qualifications of gliders. The kames would be one of only a few sites suitable for this sport in Illinois, Bunner said. Trustees suggested that watchers could be a problem and the district would have trouble excluding others from the ecologically sensitive kames. An audience member suggested that the district could treat the hang glider people as they did the Hor­ seman's association of McHenry county. Trails in Indian Ridge were opened only to association members. Use of the kames could be restricted to hang glider pilots. The trustees promised to discuss the matter and reveal their decision later. Fiske advised of the schedule of the Saturday expedition down the Fox river in voyageur canoes for the members of the Youth Conservation corps, who were present at the meeting. As had been long planned, the YCC group were to launch the 26-foot canoes capable of carrying 16 persons, from the Spring Grove canoe landing under the ex­ perienced eyes of the original Voyageur group from Canada. In other business the board designated the Marengo State bank as the primary depository for distirct funds because of its past service and ac­ commodations for the district. A budget hearing was set for 7 p.m. Aug. 8. Fiske advised that the Lester Witte company was about two weeks late in starting its annual audit, but it was expected it would be completed in time for the levy meeting to be held in Sep­ tember. A meeting of the education committee of the district was scheduled for July 23 at Indian Ridge. One of the subjects to be discussed was alternate uses for the Stickney Run site. The trustees also approved a proposal by Radicom of McHenry to maintain district radios for $57 per month. The firm stipulated that the radios be examined and placed in top operating shape at district expense before the contract was effective.

McHenry County college's board of trustees recently, approved faculty and classified staff salary increases for the fiscal year 1979-80 but tabled increases for the management group until the regular July meeting. The management group includes administrators, professional-technical staff and managers of the cafeteria, bookstore, maintenance and security. The board reaffirmed a 7.24 percent pay increase for the fiscal year for the faculty. The faculty hike was set as part of contract negotiations between the board and the MCC Faculty association last year. A four-step merit system was used for the classified staff salary increases: Step l~No incrsase, no wage adjustment; Step 2-Maintenance ad­ justment of 7 percent of the individual's actual 1978-79 wage rate; Step 3-Basic merit, a flat dollar amount equal to 3 per-1 cent of the average wage rate for the classified employees; Step 4-High merit, a flat dollar amount equal to an additional 3 percent of the average wage rate for the classified em­ ployees^ Individual employee salary hikes can vary from no increase to as much as the set percentage plus two merit bonuses. The board also approved a revision of the benefits program for college employees which includes a two-day in­ crease in sick leave days, a restructuring of vacation benefits, a new policy on personal leave days which allows no accumulation, added term life insurance benefits for full-time classified staff and a standardization of benefits for part-time classified employees. Members gave a stamp of approval to establishing a drop- in day care center for the children of MCC students. The center will begin operation in the Fall in the community center addition of the Ridgefield Presbyterian church and will be staffed by students studying child care under the MCC program as well as by a trained staff. The board approval included the college paying $1,500 for half of the costs of renovating the center to meet state requirements as well as a $3,200 yearly cost. The center as set up will be able to serve 20 children from ages 3 to 5 and the cost to parents is set as an average of $1.50 per hour for each child.
